I always watch every one of these because I don’t want to miss out on any gems you might bring up. All top 100 of each of you, and the people, is worth hearing about.

I feel like I’m with Zee, maybe QE is a good game but it’s hard to feel hyped about it when the only thing anybody says about it is “it’s funny that numbers are high”

It’s really a don’t knock it until you try it game. I too wasn’t that excited about it until somebody bought it to our meetup, I laughed so hard that I got chest pains. Our game was so out there that google wasn’t enough, we went up to googleplex. Then there’s a guy who scored no points except for the zeros as he didn’t get it and thought “9 trillion” was a lot of money. We had to look up the units and write them out. I look forward to trying the expansion which fixes the only gripe that I have with it.

I don't mind passing on this game either

@bigd5773 Жыл бұрын

I played it once. The big numbers weren’t a thing in my play. They started in the hundreds and ended in the 10 thousands. For me the game is about the the people fighting for second in a way. The person in first probably spent the most, so they will be eliminated. But then how do you win enough bids to get the points to win without the guy with the most debt driving up the price so you will owe more than him.

@timometsanoja9666 Жыл бұрын

Having played QE a couple of times. It does have it's moments and it is mostly a social experiment more than a solid board game. The expansion is very nice and you should play with it. Makes the game less repetitive. And the numbers go as high as the players take it. In the last game we were talking about tens of millions. But I have played it to way higher in the past. It all depends on the group... It is an ok game and it can go a little long, but I wouldn't mind playing it again especially with the expansion.

@flawed1 Жыл бұрын

Some folks at the dice Tower love to say “ that’s a player problem not a game problem“ In Zee’s own example that he gives for Thunderbirds, he’s suggesting a move to another player and then, proceeds to say something to the effect of that’s the whole game. I don’t like cooperative games that are just one big puzzle we’re all trying to solve. I want my own turn. I wish we would stop trying to pretend that that’s the players fault Some cooperative games just aren’t for some people because of the mechanics involved in the game, not because someone is an “alpha gamer” because the game incentivizes them to suggest moves to other players

Tell them Mike! Masmorra, as cooperative (including solo) is a light, fast and fun dungeon crawler, playable with kids 10+ due to the cute theme. As a competitive, it is Arcadia Munchkin, we never play this mode. The action selection system is also top. Warmly recommended, it should have a place on a top100

You may think you’re watching a Top 100 but you’ll end up picturing Mike in a bath tub. Don’t ask....My favorites that were mentioned in this video: -Targi -Horrified -King of Tokyo -Abyss Conspiracy (very underrated) -Blood Rage I disagree about Blood Rage’s “flaw” of knowing the cards. It’s not substantially different than a pro player destroying a new player in Dominion, Unmatched and countless other card-driven games. You mitigate this by providing a good teach along with some tips, but players with similar skill levels will have a great time. The game that I think of where a new player stands zero chance against a player who has simply played a couple of times (never mind a pro) is Food Chain Magnate.

Once you discover that Scythe is more of a race game, it changes the way you play. I have ended the game in 12 turns with the right combos. The probelm I have is the game balance. Red and Yellow need changes so they are not so overpowered. I recommend not using the expansion mats either, innovative is OP and Militant is hard to figure out the efficiency.

Battleore 2nd Edition is amazing!! If anyone is thinking of getting into miniature war games but isn't sure, wants to save a tonne of money, and/or hates rule edition changes, grab a copy of the base game. Fun to play with newbies or experienced players as long as they're into the fantasy army vs fantasy army theme. It really does need a reprint. I have everything for it. Heck I have multiple copies! But, scalpers be damned, I want others to be able to enjoy it too! Really hoping to play it with my son when he's old enough 😊 But I also enjoy a solo variant if he's not into it. Highly recommend watching the playthroughs by Paul Darcy on KZfaq

1:07:21 Paper Tales (Zee's 63) is a game I've tried mostly because he's talked about it so much. I got the app and have played it a bunch of times-trying to figure it out and trying to like it. In the end, it just blows my mind how someone could have enjoyed this… or even called this a finished design. I'm glad Zee likes it, and I'm happy that there are different games for different people, but so many of the decisions in this game seem to have been made to suck the fun out. Compare this to something like Res Arcana (which Zee also likes), which gives you so many opportunities to do cool combos, build up, and generally have a good time.
